The Eminem Show (Expanded Edition)

The Eminem Show is the fourth studio album by the American rapper Eminem, released on May 26, 2002, through Shady Records, Goliath Artists, Aftermath Entertainment, WEB Entertainment, and Interscope Records. Eminem produced most of the album himself, with additional production by Dr. Dre, Jeff Bass, and Mr. Porter. While Eminem's previous two albums explored the frustration of life among America's underclass, The Eminem Show marked a drastic thematic shift. Guest appearances include Obie Trice, Paul Rosenberg, D12, Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg, Dina Rae and Eminem's daughter, Hailie Jade. The Eminem Show's themes are predominantly based on Eminem's prominence in hip-hop culture, as well as his ambivalent thoughts of fame. It also features political commentary on the United States, including references to 9/11, Osama bin Laden, the war on terror, President George W. Bush, Lynne Cheney and Tipper Gore. It notably also incorporates a heavier use of rap rock than Eminem's previous albums. Due to its less satirical and shock factor lyrical approach, The Eminem Show was regarded as Eminem's most personal album at the time and a step back from the Slim Shady alter ego.
